Been there, done that

Division I-AA Holy Cross, coached by Dan Allen, defeated Army 30-21 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.

It was Army's first loss to a I-AA opponent since 1994, when Boston University, also coached by Allen, beat the Black Knights. The Crusaders defeated a I-A opponent for the first time since beating Army 31-24 in 1987.

"There's no question that this loss is the worst one in 20 years [of coaching]," Army coach Todd Berry said.

Derrick Knight's 12-yard touchdown run with 36 seconds remaining lifted Boston College to a 34-27 comeback victory over the visiting Cardinal, spoiling the first game of Stanford coach Buddy Teevens.

Stuffing the musket

The Wisconsin Badgers made sure the West Virginia mascot had few opportunities to fire his musket in their 34-17 victory over the Mountaineers.

The mascot originally was prohibited from bringing his antique gunpowder musket to Camp Randall Stadium because of a university rule prohibiting firearms on campus. Wisconsin officials changed their mind after West Virginia asked for an exception.

"They didn't really use it too much," Badgers linebacker Jeff Mack said with a grin.

Six-pack

Jonathan Golden scored a school-record six touchdowns as Baylor routed outmanned Samford 50-12. Golden scored four touchdowns in the first half on runs of 4, 1, 3, and 16 yards. In the third quarter, he added a 17-yard scoring run and a 28-yard TD catch.

Domination times 3

- Ten Kentucky players scored TDs as the Wildcats defeated Texas-El Paso 77-17. It was the most points scored by Kentucky since it beat North Dakota 83-0 in 1950.

- Louisiana-Monroe reached Kansas State territory only once in a 68-0 loss, the Indians' worst since they re-entered Division I-A in 1994.

- Lehigh compiled 603 total yards and allowed only 98 in a 69-0 thrashing of Georgetown.

"I told them all, if you can't get off the field when the game's over, don't worry, we'll have carts to get you off the field. But we're going to leave it all on the field."
